When SFZ talks about matching tempo, I think that statement is restricted to
things like LFO speed that can be specified in musical time. You can't simply
assign a wav file containing a loop to a key, load that SFZ file, press the
key, and have the loop play in time with the project. That would require
real-time time stretching, and, as far as I know, SFZ can't accomplish that.
Dimension Pro and RXP play Rex loops in time with the project, but that doesn't
require time stretching. Rex/Recycle loops are pre-chopped in to pieces, and
Dimension Pro and RXP simply trigger the individual chopped pieces at different
rates, depending on Sonar's tempo. That's why, when you slow down the project
tempo, you hear gaps of dead air in-between segments of Rex loops.
Acid loops are time stretched, but they need pre-processing, too. You can drop
them on a track manually, drop them on a track using the Matrix View, and play
them with Cyclone (but CYclone isn't really all that accessible).
The common thread here is that most audio that scales to match the project's
tempo has been pre-processed in some way. The exception is when you convert an
audio clip in to a groove clip, or else use AudioSnap.
